Bud Dupree arrives in Pittsburgh for visit with Steelers

PITTSBURGH — Former Steelers OLB Bud Dupree has arrived in Pittsburgh for his visit with the team, he posted on his Instagram story Thursday morning.

Bud Dupree was released by Tennessee Titans before the free agency period started. After only two seasons with the team, it ended up being sour and he is on the move. Last week, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported that Dupree would be coming to Pittsburgh for a visit with his former team, the Steelers.

The team has appeared interested in outside linebackers all of NFL Draft season and with a sore need for depth at the position, Dupree makes plenty of sense to fill the void behind Alex Highsmith and T.J. Watt. The familiarity would be there for them as well since they all played together for a season.
